Overview

The importance of the systems analysis course is represented in conducting a comprehensive analysis by developing a unified structure in which quantitative analysis is used to study the relationship between the elements of that system. This course also focuses on studying the relationship between variables and to identify the elements and components of different systems and to identify the inputs, outputs and variables of the different analysis systems, and to identify the mathematical methods that help to interpret the analysis systems.
